Just a gentle reminder that anyone who is not current for 2010 PDGA membership (26 players of the 49 currently signed up) will need to renew before FEB 8th at 5PM to be current for the 13th or will need to have $10 for the non-PDGA fee at the Event.

I'll have the new 1st run Innova Star stamped PRO Katana available for sale for those interested.There are only 23 available at $12 each. There will be a 2 disc limit per person.PM or email me with your requests.First come first served determined by time stamp.

I will be in Savannah this weekend and will not have access to respond until Sunday night to any questions.

I've got a first run champion katana, and it flies like a more understable boss. It's become my favorite tailwind driver. I usually dont use it too much with any significant head or cross winds. Not sure how the star plastic compares, but I highly recommend the Katana

I throw the Pro Katanas like Keith has available. I'm a finesse thrower. The pro Katanas are not Wraith like and are different from the Champion Katanas. More like a sidewinder on steroids for me. I'm more comfortable with the Pro Katana than a sidewinder or lightweight R-Pro Boss. They have a lot of glide but would probably get flippy or whatever you big arm, over torque grippers like to call it.

They have arrived and I'll have them with me SAT at White Oak or I'll also be at the Perkerson ice bowl for the 7 people that have already pre ordered them. (please bring CASH)

If any of the 8 are still left then anyone who wants one can pick them up from me in person at White Oak this Saturday.

Matthew and Chris Millay are correct in their posts about what these discs are designed to do. They work best in a tailwind or slight crosswind when thrown smooth, they are a good turnover disc when thrown with speed, and a roller disc if thrown with a LOT of speed into a headwind.

They are a PERFECT fit for someone who throws flippy hyzer like me though, as I don't have to break them in - they are ready to go right out of the box!

The following players are NOT current with the PDGA and they MUST be signed up by 5PM MONDAY 2/8/2010 or they will need to bring $10 in CASH to the Event Saturday morning. If you know anyone on this list that doesn't read the message board, please let them know. Thanks in advance. Keith

Sponsorship gets you or your business a Tee sign at all 6 Events, and a 1/2 page ad in the Program for each Event - to be seen in 6 different cities by over 400 different disc golfers during the course of the year, plus your name or logo on the sponsorship page at http://www.supersixseries.com

At the low price of only $100 that comes to less than $17 per Event to get your name out to the masses!

Holes available are: 9, 10, 14, 16, and 17.

I'll even throw in your choice of 1 CFR disc with the purchase of a Silver Sponsorship.

13, 14 and 15 will be set morning of as there are not permanent sleeves for those spots.13 will be roughly 75 feet to the right of where it is now between the tree and fence. (you can see the dug up dirt spot)14 is roughly 30 feet closer to the tee area (further from the creek) (you can see a yellow paint cap)15 is roughly 35 feet towards the right and on the slope, and tee area will be on the dam even with the fishing pavilion closest to the basket. (you can see the dug up dirt spot)Hole descriptions, distances and info are in the top post if you wish to make a printout to take with you.

Hey Keith, after playing WO several times I have been wondering why you made hole 8 a par four when hole 3 is virtually the same. I would be willing to bet that no one gets to within 30 feet of 3's basket. The tee shot is uphill so it plays longer than 470'. After driving on both holes several times I had no putt but a short approach w/ a easy drop in three. It must be the putting zone for 8 being perched on the top of the hill. Lowest score wins so all in all it doesn't matter but just wondering.

Justin Drage put his mutant sidearm up within about 30' and I canned the putt during Fright Flight. I actually saw Justin sail over #9's tee pad and it sat on the other side of the ridge on another ocassion. Not all of us can have monkey tendons in our arms though

My point exactly. Out of 72 people it took two open players to get a two during doubles and only one of them actually got there.

Just got confirmation from John Inman that he will be supplying lunch consisting of:" burgers, dogs, chips, steamed veggies, drink and something sweet for 5 bucks" with all proceeds to benefit the Special Olympics which John' s wife works with.

So for the players and families on SAT so you can get your food and do something for a good cause at the same time.

The MAIN pavilion will be filled with Tournament Central (Fortress of Solitude) containing all GSSS Products for sale along with Solstice Disc Sports, Greg Campbell (doing payout) and John's food with Wes Campbell set up at the other pavilion with all of his merchandise - so if you are looking for ANYTHING disc related there is no way not to find it on Saturday at White Oak!

I'm super excited about this tournament! This is gonna be my first Super Six tournament and second tournament overall! I'm in rec....but just wanted to say that the course looks fantastic and can't wait till Saturday! Whoever is in charge of getting the course in shape, you are the man! See ya'll Saturday!!

7 PROSPhil ArthurMatt DollarJustin DrageQMatlackRob McElreathWoody and 1 AMChris Pierceare not current with the PDGA and need to bring 10 CASH on SAT morning to cover the NON PDGA Fees that I am required to pay to the PDGA.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation in making the check-in process run smooth.

I read this shortly after you posted it and thought no way... Well I just got off the roads and after a night of freezing temps I can only pray to make it out of the neighborhood tomorrow. And then the over an hour drive...

Hate to say it, but the prospect of driving three hours (two in the dark) on icy roads to play DG for six-seven hours in miserable conditions, and then driving three hours back....well, it just doesn't appeal to me so much. I think i'll sleep in.... sno-tubes and hot chocolate! Count me out keith......y'all come get some IDGC next weekend. flynn

I just arrived home and wasn't able to get on the site at work since I was actually WORKING.

It took me almost 1 hour for a normal 15 minute drive home from work.

EVENT # 1 POSTONED UNTIL NEXT SATURDAY 2/20 !!!

I'll say this with the assumption that the park will be ok with being able to give us at least 1 of the 2 pavilions for that date - and I won't be able to find that out until TUESDAY as Monday is a holiday - if not I'll reschedule it for later in the year.

Anyone than cannot make it for NEXT SATURDAY 2/20 who has ALREADY PAID please PM me to work out solutions - I WILL NOT post answers to anyone posting about it here - It needs to be in PM so I can save them and print them out.

Any of the following people has the first shot at any spots as they have already paid and have not gotten refunded or had tsigns made for their sponsorship:Andrew JenkinsWesley BurrussMark DammesDave KenneyDale Hatcher

Sorry for the late info, but as I said i just got home and I'm typing as fast as I can.

PLEASE LET EVERYONE YOU HAVE CONTACT WITH KNOW ABOUT THIS POST as not everyone reads this board.

I'll also be calling as many people as I have #'s for before 9PM

Hope to see EVERYONER NEXT SATURDAY - Have fun in the snow and PLEASE BE SAFE!

I know how you are, but alot of people that read what you write look at it and think that's how it is - when in reality I treat EVERY single situatuion differently and respond according to THAT particular situation.

This snow Event was supposed to happen early in the day and be done by noon-2PM and was not going NORTH of I-20 (WHITE OAK was in the clear) when I made that post about it snowing Friday and being SUNNY for SAT - obviously things went different than the weather people predicted so that means postponement.SUNDAY doesn't work as it is supposed to snow again Sunday - as well as I learned my VDAY lesson after the gods cursed me with 2 flat tires leaving the CRUCIBLE last VDAY less than 2 miles from the course.

Postponing until 11 AM doesn't work - because I won't as well as lots of others won't be able to get out of their developments.

Bummer. My new job puts me in Douglasville late at night, so I stayed over in a hotel last night to practice and tonight to be close to the park in the AM. Probably a good decision, but it stinks for me.

Solid ice covered streets where I live already - I'll be trapped at home until the ice melts.

About 5 more people to call - thanks to everyone that has spread the message as several calls were met with the response that someone had already let them know - and most everyone CAN make it , so I look forward to seeing all the players NEXT SATURDAY 2/20

Working in the restaurant industry and playing golf on Valentines's Day weekend is a no go.*

*BTW people-any dork with a phone can make a reservation. You really want to do something special for your mate? Don't take them out to a restaurant on Valentines day-your only going to be jammed in with the other idiots and will be rushed in and rushed out.** Next time attempt some originality by actually attempting to do something special.<---use your own imagination on that one.

**If your going to go out to eat the best times are during the week. Avoid all holidays, especially hallmark holidays. Service and quality of food tends to be less on weekends and holidays.<---Perhaps this is due to the fact so many of us lack originality...and perhaps sincerity

I have an assignment in one of my classes in which I must write a news paper article about something...I chose the growth of disc golf and have an emphasis on here in Georgia. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who had any kind of good insight to the growth here or maybe even a touring pro or anything like that (Store owner, course designer, etc...). If possible, I'd like to do an interview (I was planning on asking some people at the White Oak tournament tomorrow and the event got postponed) it appears as though with the deadline (Wednesday) I'm looking at, I'm gonna have to do an email interview. I'd appreciate any and all help that I can get. And I hate to sound like mean, but only serious replies please.

If you are interested in helping me out with this, just PM me or you can email your thoughts on things such as,

how the sport has grown

Where the sport is growing

Why you started playing, etc...

I'm gonna be away from the computer for a while today ( from 2-930 I got to be at work so I could have next Saturday off for the tournament)

Thanks,

first in mind man, talk to keith johnson, then maybe wes campbell, rand, phil arthur, there is a bunch of people. i would even go to a local course, and just talk to regular recreational players too, to get their insight as well, along with the serious players.

Mike Dammes has just spoken to the park and we are good to go - although there is another group that will be there from 12-7PM and we need to be kind to that group.

So this is a good time to remind everyone to please be considerate when parking and not take up extra space, as well as to hang out and get lunch from John Inman so you won't lose your parking space. We may have to switch pavilions after the first round as the group has the larger one booked at this time. Either way - we'll have a good time playing Disc Golf at White Oak!

There are 4 spots that won't be decided on until THURSDAY EVE, so if any one would like to be considered in case there is a spot available, please PM, E-mail, or call me if you are interested and I'll get in touch with you on FRIDAY if any become available.If you have already PM'ed me, you do NOT need to again as you are already on the contact list.

The large one, but not until noon - You can park anywhere up there - BUT NOT ON THE GRASS areas up top. Just don't park crooked or with larger gaps between cars and it shouldn't be a problem - there is also parking down below by the playground down below hole 1 bakset and across the path from Hole 2 's tee where the other group most likely will end up parking - or golfers that leave might have to park, but it is a very short walk up the hill to the pavilions and bathroom.

With the temps expected near 60 there might be some more fishermen than if it was in the 30's, but I'll have the dam roped off so there will not be anyone parking on it.

Right now there are 5 spots available for SAT as 5 people have found something better to do.

If you wish to play this weekend and you are NOT already on the PDGA REGISTRATION list here: http://www.pdga.com/event?TournID=9788 - just show up before 8AM and let me know you are interested, as I am NOT making anymore changes to the spreadsheet.It has already had 34(really) changes made to it in the past 2 weeks - and as fast as I print new labels for the scorecards in this last week, the people drop out - so to save time, ink and labels - All other changes will come day of.

The weather will be great and the course should be pretty dried out with fewer muddy areas, so whoever is there will get a great Event with GREAT payouts, and the rest of you will have missed the first GSSS Event of 2010.

From post 1 of this thread...

I am bummed to be missing this event. My new job, which is otherwise great, has a tournament unfriendly schedule. I work from 6pm Friday to 6am Saturday, then again from 6pm Saturday to 6am Sunday. Drop a DG tournament in the middle and that'd be a long day. Hopefully I'll be moving to a shift earlier in the week soon.

Have a great time and I'll see some of you on Sunday at the (now mis-named) Frost in the Woods.

BTW, I am drinking the sweet nectar of 3rd place victory from my new glass from today.Centofanti is probably drinking the sweet nectar of first place from the horn of a unicorn,but he shot well and deserves it. Thanks again Keith.

After today's tournament and seeing how awesome it was, I can't wait till the Crucible! Only a month from today! Thanks Keith and your crew for all your hard work with the Atlanta disc golf scene! It is very much appreciated.

Huge thanks to Dawn and Lorelei for all their help - Wade Selph for all the course work, sign, and paint work and teardown help - John Inman's wife and helpers for the great lunch, along with Brett Porter, and Brad Hammock for scoring help.Thanks to EVERYONE who came out and played and even with selling out and being filled 9(NINE) times and then getting moved back a week, we still went off today and played in 60 degree temps with only 1 short of a full field!

$160 in 50/50 Raflle tickets were sold raising $80 for EDGE and also giving $80 and an EDGE CFR Destroyer to Darren Schatz when Lorelei drew his ticket.

Congrats to all the winners -Phil Arthur (the only person to shoot under 50 both rounds) wins by 4 in OPEN and pockets $550 and Justin Drage having the hot round of the day - a 45 in the second round which also had his ace to come from behind and end up in second!

There won't be ratings for REC until they are official as the wasn't enough CURRENT PDGA Members with a rating over 800 to be proagators, but when the ratings are official, they will show up at that time, as they will take the 2 rounds for everyone which will give enough "gators" to give everyone in REC ratings.

TokioJason wrote:Why is a 53 in the 2nd round higher rating than a 52 in the first round?

Ratins are based on the scores EVERYONE that played the same pads shot - first round alot of low scores - second round less low scores - if not for Drage's 45 (-11) the second round ratings would have been higher still.
